Moon over large Hill

About Moon over large Hill

This modern landscape painting that features a moon is by Aron Hill.

Their influences were the modernists like Jack Bush and the great French Fauvist painter, Matisse. Both the form and colour palette of Hill’s work echoes these artists. Hill’s own visual language re-envisions the landscape in graphic forms with clean lines rendered in bold colours. In this striking painting a full white moon hangs in a jet black night sky opposite a bright yellow sun. The earthy brown ‘hill’ that anchors the work sits below. A column of hot pink adds dramatic contrast.

“Whether you like Matisse or not, the interest in pure colour I’ve always been fascinated by and drawn to. The idea of pureness in terms of colour and shape, and that hard edge has always appealed to me.” Aron Hill

Aron Hill obtained a BFA in Interdisciplinary Studies from the Alberta College of Art and Design and their MFA from Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2006. They have exhibited across Canada and in Dubai. Hill’s work is held in private and corporate collections.
